Safe Lotions/Make-up

Does anyone know of a good safe facial moisturizer to use during pregnancy? I haven't had my first appt. yet to ask but was wondering if any experienced mommas knew (I don't remember this stuff from my pregnancy 6 years ago!)...I know every skin care product I have contains an ingredient it says to avoid! Same goes for make-up, all the ingredients are starting to look the same after trying to read them all! I'd think the majority of make-up (foundation, concealer, eye make up, lips, etc) would be fine, right?

Look on the skin deep database from the environmental working group. You can browse by product category and it will show you the safest products first. I don't buy anything without checking the database. My daytime moisturizer is a face oil from Badger and my overnight moisturizer is a tallow and essential oil balm from Etsy (not listed on the database, but all ingredients are a 1). I rarely wear make-up, but still check all products before buying.
